TK3202

Not to be a bastard, but who in God's name picked "unmodified Hasbro"?

I had a modified Hasbro when I first started (my current, soon to be phased out ANH kit). I've gotten a hyperfirm in the mail for my ESB kit. I simply wanted a more accurate blaster. I kind of always felt the Hasbro was my weak link to my ANH EIB kit.

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it.

Ok thanks. I appreciate it. Someone should change the Eib Crl then.

I recently ordered an ESB hyperfirm. I'm almost done with my ESB armor and want to make sure that when I update my EIB armor picture from my ANH to ESB that I have all my bases covered. I know what to do with the armor, but I'm getting conflicting info is the ESB hyperfirm ready to go out of the box or not. Any help would be great as it seems the EIB pictures for ESB blasters in the crl is actually a RotJ. Thanks guys.

I'm an ANH Stunt, and it's always left for me. I tried right once, but it didn't feel right with the holster on the left side. I think it's there for a reason, even if the guys in the movie switch it up. I bet Lucas would want it being in the left hand.

No action shots, but I can go in any time and get free photos there haha. I'll take it in once my couple of modifications are done

Thanks guys. Helmet is TE2, of course . Chest and back is RT Mod, and ..believe it or not, the rest is FX. Well, not the belt, ect ect.. but you know what I mean.

I took these back in October at our last Halloween party. The people there always get a kick out of it. It's the first year I was EIB (sorry about the missing right shoulder strap, don't sue me it snapped off haha) so I wanted some pics. I forgot to post them before, so here you go:

Hmm, no but I'll get on that for sure

Thanks man, it makes a huge difference when it's done properly.. sits on ya better . Now off to Lancerland. I'll be helping a garrison mate with his kit, so hopefully we can get the Ohio Garrison EIB count to 3 .

Great looking suit! No one should make you wear anything that's non-cannon to troop. That's just silly. If you're approved to be in the 501st, you can troop. Plain and simple.

Got it all changed . Thanks again guys. Can't wait to see the picture up in the EIB ranks .

Awesome thanks so much! Btw, PM sent.

I made it, I made it! Let's celebrate with a new signature Thanks for all the compliments. It makes it all worthwhile

I can't wait! I'm so excited right now to hear the official word.

Thanks mate! Here you go: Btw, just as a funny note:

Hey guys, I'm finally ready to apply for Expert Infantry. The armor is FX, the chest is RT Mod, and the bucket is a TE2 (which I love ). My blaster is a modified hasbro with t-track, d ring, and resin kit. I have the canvas belt held on with a snap system, a leather holster, and money clips on my detonator. The abs circles have been put on either side of the abs belt over where the rivets are as well. After working on this for months and months, and studying pictures of other Elite, I'm hoping I'm up to snuff.

Shins or thighs?

Would RT thighs be bigger than these fx ones? And do they look less like tree trunks? lol. I already ordered a chest plate from him.. if the thighs are bigger, I'll just add that to my order then! Thanks guys.

lol screw that . But seriously, Ive run the gammot on weight.. everywhere from 155 to 225 (now 195) and every where in between, and my legs are always the same size lol. Not an ounce of fat in them, which ... in situations like this, becomes a slight pain in the ars. Definitely helped play defense in soccer though back in the day .

Whew, great, good to hear! The sad thing is that I'm not a heavy guy, ya know? It's just my build. I tried widening up top in a V like you suggested last night actually on one of them (i think it's the left...), but, while it felt a little better, it really didn't make it come up any farther really. And I'd think the shim would make it look kinda ugly for such a small adjustment, ya know? I'll try to get the thighs smaller down towards the knees, but it's good to know I'm not alone out there. Can't wait to finish all my upgrades. Thanks for the support in the last few weeks helping me through this, everyone!

Hey guys, I must be doing a good job at slowly getting my TK to elite standards(most parts ordered, just waiting ), because I'm finally seeing all the probems with FX armor lol. I already have an RT mod chest plate on the way, but what I'm noticing in pics now, bothers me. I've always known the thighs on the FX armor kits were stocky, but I needed this as my thighs are bigger than any of the brits in the actual suits. I'm not a big guy, but my legs are just really muscular, which causes some issues... I can't seem to hike them up to make the top of the thigh only an inch or two from the side of the cod piece like other types of kits. However, I've noticed that other FX kits being submitted for Elite status seem to have the same issue, and were accepted.. but it doesn't mean it doesn't erk me. I don't know if I should be able to hike the thighs any higher, but i know my legs simply won't allow it lol. It looks fine by itself, but next to other kits, I have a larger black void below the waist line, ya know? Anyway, I was wondering if there are any thighs out there that would be better for me, and if not, if there's anything I can do with my thighs or if it's just how FX kits run. I'll try to get some pics here for you guys from my last troop this past weekend. I tried to show the thighs here at all sides. Please tell me what you think I should do.. I've already put a new set of snaps in my thigh straps, and I don't think I can go any higher here...:

Yea, there was one guy recently who got in with just 2 like I did and with snaps . Thanks for lookin out for me though.
